Sending data to Microsoft Excel

- Just as we can export our brainstorming diagram's data…to Microsoft Word,…we can send the data to Microsoft Excel as well.…That's what we're gonna do right now…with our brainstorming diagram.…And if you need to get caught up,…just open up Brainstorm1009.…Next, with the Brainstorming tab selected on the ribbon,…we'll go to Export Data.…This time we're going to be exporting to Microsoft Excel.…Now you may recall when we exported to Microsoft Word,…an XML file is generated first…and opened up in Microsoft Word.…

The same thing is going to happen here…when we generate our file to be viewed in Microsoft Excel.…And you'll notice that if we wanted to, right at the bottom,…we could go straight to that XML file…and provide that XML file to anyone or any program…that will open up an XML file and have that data…but these two options appear here…because I'm using Visio 2013…and I have Office 2013.…Now if you didn't have compatible versions,…these might be grayed out.…Let's go to Microsoft Excel.…
